Clever...and a little frightening! Indifferent

Great concept, and really well done.

Cheers

Thank you for the compliment.

There was a press conference in Puerto Rico where this brand paper towel was thrown out to the addending press crowd.

Funny bit, SprueOne. Very well done. Still kinda looks like Frank Gorshin though. Maybe shoulda added some girth around the middle.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

I agree with FotoFrank...more girth! ...And, maybe smaller hands.

Funny you mention the hands. I went through some of my 1/16 figures but they were way too small.

So, I decided to scale down the kit hands but I guess they were, cartoony caricature, large, to begin with.

After shrinking them a little they looked good for this purpose on the cutting mat but after installation they looked to scale with the rest of Bad Hombre Hmm
